Heidi Klum prefers to go topless!

Supermodel Heidi Klum says she prefers to go topless during her beach vacations because she hates tan lines.

The 38-year-old Victoria’s Secret beauty was snapped sporting a number of different bikinis while on holiday with her family in Italy this summer but she says she’d rather go topless to achieve an even tan, Daily Express reported.

"I’m surprised you have a photo of me wearing a (bikini) top because… I don’t really like to wear tops because I hate tan lines. I maybe have like, four (bathing suit sets) with tops and bottoms and then I have like, 10 bottoms."

"My husband likes it when it’s all one colour. And I do too… You know, people in Italy (really) don’t care, they don’t care if you don’t have a top on," she said.

The mother-of-three says Americans aren’t so keen on her topless ways, revealing she once got scolded for baring all at a pool in Arizona.

"I do have to say they are more uptight here. I got in trouble once. In Phoenix. I was working there and I was laying by the pool, and obviously I have no top on, and I’m laying there sunbathing. And a security guy comes over and he goes, ‘Ma’am, you have to put your top back on because we’re having complaints," she added.(PTI)
